So I first just want to start out and brag about how wonderful my husband is! I came home Tuesday night from Ogden and had the best surprise! Mike had cleaned the whole entire house! I'm talking every little thing: organized each room, vacuumed (moving furniture), filed papers, even dusted!! It was so great, I cried:) He is such a sweetie...
31/2 months old and Linc is already getting his first hair cut. K his hair was so gross in the back! I know the after isn't good either, but it looks so much better. He has very little hair on the top, but the back looked like a mullet. And I don't care who you are, mullets are not cute! (It was a mix b/w a mullet and Hitler's stache)

These last two weeks have been crazy!! I got to go back to the hospital and finish up my clinical hours. I'm really gonna miss that place. But I finally get to live in Green River! Yeah! I'm so stinkin excited! Me and Linc went to Ogden the Sat before last and stayed all week. He had a fun little week. He got to play w/lots of different people while I went to work. Poor kid, I felt I was just passing him all over! Monday his Aunt Tenille watched him. My friend Hilary watched him on Tuesday. (And bless her heart she made the day interesting! I think from now on I'll explain a little better what he's used to). My mom played w/him Wed and Aunt Diana got to play w/him Thursday. We were so happy that she was so willing and excited. She has a Lincoln of her own that makes it fun.

Linc is in charge
Aunt Diana and the sweater she made him
And poor Diana. I just gave her the bag and left. When Lincoln is hungry he is a monster! He will scream till he gets it. Well I shoved the nipple to the bottles down in the bag and she couldn't find it. She said it had been a while and was desperately waiting for Rand to come home to go buy one till she finally found it. I go crazy in just a few minutes of preparing it. I can only image... Sorry!!
Uncle Daniel and Linc
My mom's friend Karla w/Linc
Karla's hubby Mike. I thought it was crazy how huge his hands are next to Linc!!
My cousin Hannah came and stayed the night while I was at my parent's.
Anna and Courtney Lee w/sleepy Linc
Mikey got to come to Ogden and play w/us Thursday afternoon. It was so nice to go to the temple that evening. Ogden is still the closest temple to us (which by the way I just love that temple!!!). It makes me appreciate them even more now that we don't have one just down the street like we did when we first got married. I'm really glad we took the time to go. Friday night we went out w/Tyson and Danielle. They just had a little baby boy, Cade, a few weeks ago and I am so sad we didn't take any pictures!! I never remember. Mikey got to meet up w/an old friend of his, Brian Pitt, later that night at Chilis. And yes we got the best desert ever, the Molten Chocolate Cake! I love it so so much!
Linc was so funny! Mike just got finished feeding him and set the bottle down and Linc just stared at the bottle like Mommy stares at chocolate
Brian and his twinner Linc. I loved that they were matching...
We came home Saturday because Mike had, I mean he had the wonderful opportunity, to speak in church w/the Elder's quorum presidency the next day. (Which I missed because I was outside w/a screaming baby! I couldn't figure out what was wrong and why he was so mad. I passed him off to a friend of mine. I was interested in being his mom at the moment. Then about 45 minutes later I learned a few good lessons. One, always bring the diaper bag out w/you when the baby cries so you don't have to run back in. Two, babies don't like it when they have a massive load of crap all over their back. And Three, always bring an extra change of clothes w/you where ever you go:))
He loves playing w/his tongue
Oh yeah! And Lincoln rolled over his past week!! We were at Grandma's in Ogden. Anna put him on his belly and a few seconds later, yeah!! He did it like 7 more times that night, then a few times for Daddy when he came out the next day, and has only done it once since. I guess he decided cool, whatever, not that fun...
Linc and I took off for Ogden again that Sunday night. I'm so grateful that he is a wonderful little traveler! Harry Potter comes on and he falls right to sleep. Kim is taking a Child Development class at her high school and had Lincoln come be a model. They were testing his baby reflexes. He did pretty good. On the way home we stopped to see the Rheads. Max wasn't home, but we got to see Lawanna (they were my next door neighbors growing up in Plain City; close enough to be my grandparents). I stopped by Monica Martinez's house. I hadn't seen her since my sophomore year 7 years ago! She was my best friend growing up and it was so good to see her and have her see Linc. Life changes in so many crazy and good ways.
Lawanna Rhead and Linc:) (I wish Max was there!)
Monica w/happy face Lincoln
So anyways, we made it back home to this lovely clean house Tuesday night and are so happy to be here w/Mikey:) I'm so excited to be able to be here and to actually get to live w/my husband! It's gonna be great. Only 2 more weeks of school, 3 till I take my boards. Mike would agree w/me that I wish it was sooner! I have been such a grump!! I'm so stressed and worried about the boards! I've been studying away and being mean. I need to get it together and be happy for my fam:)
Here are some pictures of our house...
No we do not like yellow! One of these days we'll get around to painting it, but for now we are sunshine yellow! And it's also a bad time of year w/this ugly grass. Whatever...
This extension is only a few years old
The extended dining room
It's not much but I love my house! This summer I hope to get some painting and some other projects done. I'll finally have the time! Yeah! (And we'll be able to save hundreds of $ ea month on gas. A few months I was spending up to $400!)
My Nana Zizmer made him this quilt:)
No we do not have a bed, just mattresses on the floor. One day, not in a hurry, whatever:)

His friend Nate and Mike redid the tile in the kitchen and both bathrooms last summer. I absolutely love it! I had been traveling back and forth as usual and when I'd come home, Mike surprised me by tiling the kitchen countertops as well. I think it looks really good.
